26、listed in any order indicating importance, and are not necessarily recommended for the applications shown.BAs stated in 5.2, the spectral power distribution (SPD) of the xenon lamp shall conform to the requirements of Practice G 155 for a xenon lamp with daylight filters.CUnless otherwise indicated,

27、 black panel temperatures apply during light-only portion of the cycle. The equilibrium black panel temperature is obtained without a sprayperiod. For light intervals shorter than 30 min, the black panel temperature might not reach equilibrium. Unless otherwise specified, add 6C (11F) to the tempera

28、ture givenfor the uninsulated black panel when an insulated black panel is used. Practice G 151 provides more information on the temperatures indicated by insulated anduninsulated black panels, which can depend on irradiance level, and the type of xenon-arc filter used.DThe irradiance values given a

29、re those that have historically been used. In devices capable of producing higher irradiance, the actual irradiance used may be higherthan the stated values. For example, Japanese auto industry specifications allow use of exposures according to Cycle 1 with 300 to 400 nm irradiance of up to 180 W/m2

30、.ETypical uses does not imply that results from exposures of these materials according to the cycle described will correlate to those from actual use conditions.FUnless otherwise specified, water spray refers to water sprayed on the exposed surface of the test specimens.GThis cycle has been used for

31、 coatings by historical convention and may not adequately simulate the effects of outdoor exposure.HThis cycle is based on the conditions of SAE J2527, but there may be additional requirements in the SAE standard not shown here.IThis cycle is based on the conditions of SAE J2412, but there may be ad

32、ditional requirements in the SAE standard not shown here.D6695082with end use conditions, including the effects of sunlight,moisture, and heat. The exposure used in this practice is notintended to simulate the deterioration caused by localizedweather phenomena such as atmospheric pollution, biologic

33、alattack, and salt water exposure.4.2 CautionVariation in results may be expected whendifferent operating conditions are used. Therefore, no referenceto the use of this practice shall be made unless accompanied bya report prepared according to Section 10 that describes thespecific operating conditio

34、ns used. Refer to Practice G 151 fordetailed information on the caveats applicable to use of resultsobtained according to this practice.NOTE 2Additional information on sources of variability and onstrategies for addressing variability in the design, execution and dataanalysis of laboratory accelerat

35、ed exposure tests is found in Guide G 141.4.2.1 The spectral power distribution of light from a xenon-arc is significantly different from that produced in light andwater exposure devices using carbon-arc or other light sources.The type and rate of degradation and the performance rankingsproduced by

36、exposures to xenon-arcs can be much differentfrom those produced by exposures to other types of laboratorylight sources.4.2.2 Interlaboratory comparisons are valid only when alllaboratories use the same light source, filter type, and exposureconditions.4.3 Reproducibility of test results between lab

37、oratories hasbeen shown to be good when the stability of materials isevaluated in terms of performance ranking compared to othermaterials or to a control.6,7Therefore, exposure of a similarmaterial of known performance (a control) at the same time asthe test materials is strongly recommended. It is

38、recommendedthat at least three replicates of each material be exposed toallow for statistical evaluation of results.4.4 Test results will depend upon the care that is taken tooperate the equipment according to Practice G 155. Significantfactors include regulation of line voltage, freedom from salts

39、orother deposits from water, temperature and humidity control,and condition and age of the burner and filters.4.5 All references to exposures in accordance with thispractice must include a complete description of the test cycleused.5. Safety Hazards5.1 Warning: Never look directly at the xenon-arc b

40、ecauseUV radiation can damage the eye. Most xenon-arc machinesare equipped with door safety switches, but users of oldequipment must be certain to turn the power to the lamp offbefore opening the test-chamber door.5.2 Xenon-arc lamps should be at or near room temperaturebefore handling.6. Apparatus6

41、.1 Use xenon-arc apparatus that conforms to the require-ments defined in Practices G 151 and G 155.6.2 Unless otherwise specified, the spectral power distribu-tion of the xenon-arc shall conform to the requirements inPractice G 155 for xenon-arc with daylight filters.7. Test Specimens7.1 Apply the c

42、oating to flat (plane) panels with the sub-strate, method of preparation, method of application, coatingsystem, film thickness, and method of drying consistent withthe anticipated end use, or as mutually agreed upon betweenthe producer and user.7.2 Panel specifications and methods of preparation inc

43、ludebut are not limited to Practices D 609, D 1730, or SpecificationD 358. Select panel sizes suitable for use with the exposureapparatus.7.3 Coat test panels in accordance with Practices D 823 andthen measure the film thickness in accordance with an appro-priate procedure selected from Test Methods

44、 D 1005, D 1186,or D 1400. Nondestructive methods are preferred becausepanels so measured need not be repaired.7.4 Prior to exposing coated panels in the apparatus, condi-tion them at 23 6 2C (73 6 3F) and 50 6 5 % relativehumidity for one of the following periods in accordance withthe type of coati

45、ng:Baked coatings 24 hRadiation-cured coatings 24 hAll other coatings 7 days min7.4.1 Other procedures for preparation of test specimensmay be used if agreed upon between all interested parties.7.5 Mount specimens in holders so that only the minimumspecimen area required for support by the holder is

46、 covered.Do not use this covered area of the specimen as part of the testarea.7.6 Unless otherwise specified, expose at least three repli-cate specimens of each test and control material.7.7 Follow the procedures described in Practice G 147 foridentification and conditioning and handling of specimen

47、s oftest, control, and reference materials prior to, during, and afterexposure.7.8 Do not mask the face of a specimen for the purpose ofshowing on one panel the effects of various exposure times.Misleading results may be obtained by this method, since themasked portion of the specimen is still expos

48、ed to temperatureand humidity cycles that in many cases will affect results.7.9 Retain a supply of unexposed file specimens of allmaterials evaluated.7.9.1 When destructive tests are run, it is recommended thata sufficient number of file specimens be retained so that theproperty of interest can be d

49、etermined on unexposed filespecimens each time exposed materials are evaluated.NOTE 3Since the stability of the file specimen may also be time-dependent, users are cautioned that over prolonged exposure periods, orwhere small differences in the order of acceptable limits are anticipated,comparison of exposed specimens with the file specimen may not be valid.Nondestructive instrumental measurements are recommended wheneverpossible.6Fischer, R., “Results of Round Robin Studies of Light- and Water-ExposureStandard Practices,” Accelerated and Outdoo
